	Online NewsHour: Talk with Mir -- September 30, 1997
		MICHAEL FOALE, NASA Astronaut: I'm not sure David knows about that, but I could address it directly since we were the ones to observe it, with Anatoly and Pavel.
		ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: And Michael Foale, staying with you, as you know, the issue of Mir's safety has become an important issue in Congress right now and Rep. Sensenbrenner, Republican of Wisconsin, did not want David Wolf to be left behind when the shuttle leaves later this week.
		MICHAEL FOALE: Well, no one likes a collision, and I can't say I ever do that one again--however, once--the whole point in emergency big endeavors--and this is a great endeavor between our countries--Russia and America--in our doing this international program--you are going to have accidents.

	Queens' College Record 1999 - An evening with Michael Foale
		Michael told us of his long term interest in space travel from boyhood days, but, as always in life, it was a set of odd circumstances that finally led to him becoming an astronaut.
		Michael did not elaborate on the details, but it sounded like the classic thriller ending, `With one thrust our hero stabilised the space-craft, allowed the solar cells to align with the sun and so restored power to the imprisoned crew'.
		Michael is a charming and unassuming man and it was a real privilege to sit with him for a whole evening and hear a bit of his story over a very pleasant dinner and wine.

		Foale says the two dissenting NASA officials had explained to him they had no reason to believe air and water quality on the space station was actually dangerous.
		But astronaut Ed Lu, whom Michael Foale is replacing, says he and his Russian teammate, Yuri Malenchenko, have had no medical problems during their six-month stay on the outpost.
		Foale says that if the air and water monitoring systems aboard the station were to fail, similar equipment aboard the attached Soyuz escape vehicle could substitute.

		Foale spent what was supposed to be a day off rechecking suspected areas in the U.S. modules with a device that listens for the ultrasound shriek of escaping air.
		Detailed plans had been drawn up to close the main hatches between the large modules on Wednesday, and have Foale and Kaleri retreat to the Russian-made service module for four or five days while pressure readings were watched in all the different modules.
